Digital Art Fair Shifts Flagship International Fair to 2023
Digital Art Fair shifts the second edition of its international flagship fair, originally scheduled in September 2022, to 2023 to welcome international art collectors, gallerists and artists to return to Hong Kong for the first time after a 3-year long travel ban.

Following its initial announcement in May 2022, the Hong Kong grown art fair has received overwhelmingly positive feedback from the global art community, with gallerists and collectors expressing great interest to travel to the city to celebrate the future of art at the fair’s flagship event. Digital Art Fair has decided to take an early decision to postpone its flagship fair to 2023 to welcome international art lovers to travel back to the Asia Art Hub.
